About me

Who am I?I'm a mom of 3 wonderful kids (11, 5 and 3). I have two boys and a girl. One of them was adopted at birth. I've been married to my best friend for 22 years (on Valentine's Day). We are actively involved in our church where I'm involved in Women's Ministries and Marriage Mentoring. We are California natives who went to college at Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri. After returning to California, we moved to Roswell, New Mexico in October 2003. We share a home with my in-laws. I have great in-laws, and the kids love to spend with Mamaw and Papaw. I work full time outside of the home as a developmental specialist. (I work with kids from birth to three who have developmental delays or who are at risk for delays (like preemies).

Why Mom 2 Ways?If you didn't catch it in the paragraph above. I'm a mom two different ways: by birth and by adoption. When I adopted my oldest son, I created an e-mail address was "His"ma. Once I gave birth to my daughter, I knew I needed a name that included both of them. I decided on Mom2Ways. I didn't want to have to change it if we had another child (which we did!)

What is this blog about?I blog because I like to talk, I like to meet new people, and I'm addicted to the Web. So blogging is a perfect fit! I blog about my family, my faith, books, stuff I like, funny stories, and turning 40. And anything else that strikes my fancy. I like to share pictures, Memes, and giveaways too. I've been on-line since the fall of 1995 when I discovered infertility message boards on AOL. From that grew an international support group for women facing infertility. It was called Ladies in Waiting. In 2005, we merged with Hannah's Prayer. I remained on the board of directors for a couple of years, and, while I still hold the title "Director Emeritus", I'm not longer active on the boards.

What about your husband?My husband has launched a new ministry called Mac4Missions where he seeks to pair used (but still functioning) Macs (Apple Computers) with missionaries (foreign and domestic) as well as other non-profit organizations. John is a full time stay at home Daddy, who occasionally moonlights as a computer technician.

What's with the kids' names?I recently decided to use pseudonyms for my kiddos. It was easy to pick. I've called the baby, "Munchie" (short for munchkin) since he was tiny. One day, my daughter decided to be "Crunchy", and big brother chose "Chewie" (short for Chewbaca of Star Wars).

Just thought I would let you know that over like the last few days I have tried to drop on your site and the ad was there but the drop part wasnt. You might ask others if they cant see it either. I have seen this on a few blogs now and they had to reload the widget.

Do you want to exchange links with me ?I usually do a three way link exchange.Three way link exchanges are better than two way links as they provide one way links for both of us. Link me up in your blog at www.zdiaz.com andI'll link you up at http://www.funnyemailmessages.blogspot.com/Contact me at ziglink@yahoo.com if you are interested and i'll add you up. Thanks

Hi, Quick question, I am thinking about using "Along for the Ride"...are you still using it? What's your experience...would you recommend it? I am blogging at http://zestolife.blogspot.com/...feel free to leave a note there. I look forward to sharing. Many blessings

Several people have recommended your blog and thought you might be able to help. We have a site that caters to moms. It allows them to store digital memories and then release them to their kids in the future. We are still in the “testing” phase and wanted to see if your readers would like to participate and get a complimentary membership.

We would appreciate if you could do a blog post and/or social media mention, informing them they can visit www.kairoslife.com to register their email address.

From there we will update them when we are ready to start testing the site. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Who am I?

I'm a full time working mom of 3 (ages 10, 12 and 18). I've been married to my best friend for 28 years. I'm currently 1/5 of the way through losing half of my body weight. I blog about it at Half a Julie. After a 2 year plateau (no loss, but no gain), I'm moving again! I'm a runner. In addition to working full time and homeschooling the oldest two, I have completed 8/10 classes for my masters degree (graduating in May 2016!).
